Linda McMahon named as Trump's pick for Education Secretary

Linda McMahon has been selected by Donald Trump to be the new Education Secretary. She previously served in his administration as the head of the Small Business Administration and has been a long-time supporter of Trump. McMahon has a background in business, co-founding World Wrestling Entertainment with her husband, Vince McMahon. She has run for U.S. Senate in Connecticut twice but was unsuccessful. Trump aims to close the Education Department, which was established in 1979, and return its powers to the states. The process of dismantling the agency would likely require congressional action.
